Has anyone else noticed there’s a bit of gender inequality going on in the nappy bag department?
I haven’t spotted Orla Kiely, reigning queen of the nappy bag style-stakes bringing out any camo patterned changing bags of late (or even ever). I’m not quite sure why I have designated camouflage as the manly print du jour, but you get my point. Most dads are probably not falling over themselves to sport a floral or polka dot nappy bag.
I noticed The Man was loath to view the nappy bag as, well something that was even remotely to do with him at first. However, as I had done all the heavy foetus-carrying during pregnancy and was the baby’s primary food source for the first six months, I was ready to turn over all other parental duties to him, and this meant sourcing a man-bag that was up to his exacting standards to cart around all those nappy essentials.
